Re: [GNC] Sub-accounts disappeared during upgrade 3.5 > 3.7

Are you sure they are really gone? Find a transaction in an account which was the other side of one of the missing sub accounts (so maybe a checking account transaction that went to the Main House expense account for example) open that transaction and see what it shows. Try clicking on the button

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am sure, at least in terms of everything I can think of to look at. The payments in the chequing account have all been changed to Expenses:Hydro rather than Expenses:Hydro:Main House. More importantly, exporting a Chart of Accounts doesn't show any of the sub-accou

Thanks David, I'm on Win 10, fully patched. I did try to look at the XML data files. Unfortunately I had turned on compression and thus they're not human readable unless someone knows a simple Windows decompression command line (ideally with 7zip, which is already on the box). There are severa

The leaf display option would have rendered the opposite effect. You’d have seen only the child (sub-account) names with none of the parents. So instead of: Expenses:Hydro:Main House Expenses:Hydro:Retreat Expenses:Hydro:A-frame you’d see: Main House Retreat A-frame Since it is a small number

Yes, I think 7zip can decompress the file. Check the wiki, or maybe a Windows user on the list can help out with doing so. One thing to consider, how do you normally open your GnuCash data file to start working in it? Do you open the GnuCash app and let it open the last used file automatically,

Update: after looking at a number of older log files, in which the same entries are present, I've concluded this is just GnuCash's processing of scheduled transactions. I therefore don't see anything in the logs that raises my suspicions. I'm beginning to think this is something that I did myse

I have built myself a solution for this. I'm not certain why asking gnucash to add the price quotes hangs for me. However I found that if I used Python to call the perl script for each individual stock and then the GNUCash Python API to write the information it all works. The script "get_quote

No need for 7-Zip or any such decompression program, just go to Preferences >> General and uncheck the compress files option and save the file to save it as uncompressed Cheers Dave H. On Tue, 17 Dec 2019 at 02:14, Paul Kroitor wrote: > Thanks David, > > I'm on Win 10, fully patched. I did
